"It occurred because the offender deliberately gave vent to his perverted and sexually sadistic desires, assaulting and degrading Ms Leng for his own depraved enjoyment."
"Too frequently men – and it is almost always men – treat women as no more than an object to be used for sexual gratification, disregarding the rights of women to personal integrity and choice."
"The offender must serve as an example to others that this attitude is very wrong."
Barrett bound, gagged and photographed his niece in their unit in the Sydney suburb of Campsie in 2016.
Then after two days, he stabbed her 40 times.
He then dumped Ms Leng's body in a blowhole at Snapper Point on the NSW Central Coast.
